Evidence Required

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to

measure and analyse radio frequency radiation

develop radio frequency radiation safety plans that adhere to Australian and organisational standards and recognise stakeholders requirements

apply knowledge of relevant work health and safety and radio frequency radiation legislative frameworks

identify inspection tools and methods appropriate to the workplace

apply principles and practices of work health and safety and radio frequency radiation safety

identify intervention points for advice to assist in work and to guide problem solving

Consistency in performance

Evidence for competency in this unit must be gathered over time and across a range of workplace or simulated situations

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions that accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisation requirements

Evidence should be gathered while observing the individual developing radio frequency radiation safety plans in an actual or simulated workplace Documents evidence of all relevant research interviews and findings should also be submitted as evidence for assessment

Specific resources for assessment

Access to relevant research material manufacturers equipment specifications and existing related standards policy and instructions
